Snowflake Peace

As I type this the weather is a gorgeous fall day...nothing even close to snowflake weather. Around September I start thinking about Christmas cards so that I have plenty of time to get them done for the holidays. I also make up Christmas cards for a group of ladies that meet at my house once a month for a card workshop. We have the most fun.

Anyway, on with the card. The base of the card is outdoor denim and the pattern paper is from the new Aspen paper pack. I am a big fan of blue paper so this one really caught my eye. I stamped a little snowflake (from the New Fallen Snow set) in outdoor denim onto the pattern paper. There's a little strip of bamboo cardstock that I ran through my sistah Stacy's cuttlebug. If you click to enlarge the picture you'll see that it's embossed snowflakes...so cool! The main image is from a stamp set called Christmas Melodies. All of the stamps in the set are titles to songs...so cute. I love it. I used a punch to make the twilight edge around the main image. To add some bling I took some little clear sparkle gems and added them to the snowflakes. Add a bow and it's done.

You are Close to My Heart,
